In the next half month, there was little fighting in the whole of North China.

The Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi Province is busy preparing its military and waiting for a counteroffensive.

The new regiment is almost reorganized, and 15 infantry battalions have been expanded, each with more than 2,500 men and 12 companies under its jurisdiction.

The new regiment also formed a new rocket artillery battalion, equipped with 16 Katyusha rocket launchers, but it was still in training and did not form a combat effectiveness.

The Sword Squadron is also stepping up intensive training, and has absorbed a number of good seedlings, including Ma Chengfeng, and expanded to 140 people.

When the Sword Squadron expands to more than 200 people, it will not be called the Sword Squadron, but the Sword Brigade.

Zhao Gang hurriedly walked into the regiment headquarters and found that Li Yunlong was not reading as usual, but lying on the table, working on the map on the table.

What is this dog doing?

Zhao Gang walked over to Li Yunlong and took a look.

"Lao Li, are you going to attack Datong?"

Seeing a few arrows on the map, Zhao Gang immediately guessed what Li Yunlong wanted to do.

"That's right, I'm planning to attack the 1st Division stationed in Datong."

Li Yunlong nodded, did not hide anything from Zhao Gang, and threw the triangular ruler and pencil onto the map.

Although Li Yunlong was born to read pictures and has a talent in this area, the homework on the pictures is relatively sloppy.

However, Li Yunlong's basic skills in the current work are not bad, and they are no worse than several operational staff officers at the regiment headquarters.

"In the past two months, our new regiment has expanded by more than 20,000 recruits!"

Li Yunlong said solemnly:

"The total strength has exceeded 50,000, and nearly half of the soldiers are new recruits, and I am worried that the combat effectiveness of the troops will be affected."

The New 1st Regiment recruited 16,000 recruits on its own, and from the 2nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment, it exchanged 9,000 recruits for business.

With only about 3,000 recruits, the new regiment completed this wave of expansion.

The training battalion is already recruiting new recruits, and in two or three months at most, these 3,000 recruits will be able to train and go to the battlefield.

Zhao Gang nodded, as Li Yunlong's partner for two years, he instantly guessed Li Yunlong's purpose: "Lao Li, do you want to attack the 1st Division to accumulate actual combat experience for recruits?" ”

"That's right!" Li Yunlong said, "In addition to accumulating the actual combat experience of the recruits, we can also earn weapons and ammunition, and the 1st Division is very sweet for our new regiment!" ”

The infantry and cavalry of the 1st Division are three times the business, and Li Yunlong has long coveted it.

Now the 1st Division has been crippled and its combat effectiveness is not strong, but the 1st Division is still a Class A division, and the infantry business is still 3 times that of the infantry regiment.

The 1st Division of Datong can not only accumulate actual combat experience of new recruits, but also make a lot of money, and no matter how you look at it, you will not lose money.

Originally, Li Yunlong's plan was that the new regiment would not fight a big battle in the next few months, and while expanding the troops, he would wait for the devil's sweep in March and April or a major counteroffensive in June.

However, after Li Yunlong exchanged artillery for 9,000 recruits from Ding Wei and Kong Jie, the new regiment completed most of the expansion plan three months ahead of the original plan.

This gives Li Yunlong more money to do things.

Li Yunlong continued to analyze: "Boss Chen estimates that the Japanese army will conduct a large-scale sweep of our Eighth Route Army from March to June. ”

"The North China Front will not dare to sweep the Eighth Route Army in the northwest and southeast of Shanxi, but it will sweep the brother units of the Eighth Route Army in other military regions."

"Although the fraternal units of other military regions have strengthened their artillery firepower and have more ammunition than before, they are certainly not opponents of the Japanese army."

"If the devils are allowed to launch a large-scale sweep, the fraternal military region will inevitably suffer heavy losses."

Zhao Gang smiled slightly: "So, you deliberately asked Wang Dehou to send a letter to the compatriots across the country and the Japanese army invading China, the purpose is to attract devils to attack our new group?" ”

As Zhao Gang expected, as soon as the telegram was sent, it didn't take long for the whole country to boil.

Li Yunlong's fame and reputation even overshadowed Xue Yue.

After all, General Xue didn't kill so many devil generals.

On the Japanese side, the locusts were furious, and they had already released cruel words to eliminate Li Yunlong and the new group at all costs.

"That's right!" The corners of Li Yunlong's mouth turned up, and his expression was not panicked at all, "The more devils who come to the northwest of Jin to attack us, the more wealth we will make." ”

Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong, and between his eyes and expressions, he showed a look of impress.

No matter what Li Yunlong thought, his strategy of forcing the Japanese army to attack the new regiment in the northwest of Shanxi can be said to be quite clever.

This is a conspiracy, so that the devil has to attack the new group.

Unless the devil doesn't even want his face, and the devil has always been revenge, for the sake of face, he can't even want the inside, in order to avenge the 16 generals, there is a high probability that a large army will be dispatched to attack the northwest of Jin.

Li Yunlong, this kid, already has strategic thinking.

Zhao Gang secretly sighed.

Li Yunlong said again: "After the 1st Division is finished and the anti-sweeping operations from March to June, it will be the turn of our Eighth Route Army to counterattack..."

"When the time comes, hehe..."

Li Yunlong's smile was awe-inspiring.

In addition to accumulating actual combat experience for the recruits, Li Yunlong also had to accumulate actual combat experience for the artillery of various infantry battalions.

The mountain artillery company under the jurisdiction of each infantry battalion is equipped with 12 mountain guns, and each mountain gun is equipped with an artillery squad; because there are not many artillerymen with actual combat experience, only the squad leader and deputy squad leader have actual combat experience in each artillery squad, and the rest of the artillerymen are either new recruits or cadets who have just graduated from the artillery school.

In a word, actual combat is the best training, learning to fight in battle.

Zhao Gang asked: "Let's fight the 1st Division at this time, aren't you afraid of reinforcements from the Mongolian army and the 1st Army?" ”

"Afraid of what?" Li Yunlong was in his chest, "I'm afraid of this and that, what kind of battle will I fight?" Just go home and pick up the baby. ”

"I'm not afraid of war." Zhao Gang explained, "Didn't you analyze it last time, if we attack the 26th Division stationed in Datong, the whole of North China will have to be a pot of porridge, and this 1st Division will be much more expensive than the 26th Division, and the Japanese army in North China will have to be reinforced at that time." ”

Li Yunlong said: "At that time, I was indeed worried that the North China Front Army would become a pot of porridge, but now the main force of our three regiments in the northwest of Shanxi Province has a total of 80,000 people, all of which are American-style equipment, and I am really not afraid that the entire North China will be turned into a pot of porridge, and it will be good to make a pot of porridge, so that we will definitely be able to make a fortune!" ”

Zhao Gang nodded and instructed: "That's okay, you and Chief of Staff Wang and Battalion Commander Zhang should make a battle plan as soon as possible, and it is better to attack the 1st Division sooner rather than later." ”

At this moment, a telegraph soldier walked in briskly with a telegram in his hand.

The telecommunications soldier snapped a military salute and said, "Report to the regiment commander, political commissar, call from the headquarters." ”

Zhao Gang took the telegram and read it, and the telegraph soldier turned around and walked away quickly.

After reading the telegram, Zhao Gang said: "The head of the headquarters ordered us to go to Woniu Mountain in Xingxian County, at the junction of Luliang Mountain and northwest Jin, four days later, and exchange skilled workers with the Jin Sui Army with 5,000 American-style infantry equipment. ”

Li Yunlong nodded, he had already prepared the American-style equipment of 5,000 people.

This is the spare weapons and ammunition of the new regiment, just 5000 people of American equipment.

After trading with Ding Wei and Kong Jie, Li Yunlong only had a few spare weapons for mountain artillery, so 12 mountain cannons came out from the headquarters.

After all, the headquarters had just made a fortune, and these 12 mountain guns were nothing to the headquarters.

Zhao Gang said worriedly: "Lao Li, Yan Xishan won't play any tricks, right?" ”

"Yan Laoxi, how dare he?" Li Yunlong snorted coldly, "If he dares to play tricks, see that Lao Tzu does not lead troops to destroy his Jin Sui army." ”

Although it is now the anti-Japanese national united front, Li Yunlong has always guarded against the national army.

Similarly, the Nationalist army is also guarding against the communist army, and both sides do not fully trust each other.

Today's new regiment really has the strength to destroy the Jin Sui army, not to mention the new second regiment and the independent regiment, which can be commanded and dispatched by Li Yunlong at any time.

At that time, the 21st Brigade of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army defeated the Jin Sui Army and more than 30 divisions of the Central Army.

At present, the strength of the Jin Sui army is only a dozen divisions and seventy or eighty thousand people.

The current new regiment is much stronger than the combat effectiveness of the entire Fifth Division, and it is not easy to solve the Jin Sui Army?

Nominally, Li Yunlong's troops were under the command of Yan Xishan, but that was only in name.

At this moment, the telegraph soldier walked in with another telegram in his hand, and gave a standard military salute and said:

"Report to the head of the group, the political commissar, and Boss Chen's secret message."

"Telegraph me."

Li Yunlong's eyes flashed, he stood up from the bench, took the telegram from the telegraph soldier, and the telegraph soldier turned around and walked away quickly.

In Li Yunlong's place, Boss Chen's telegram is obviously one point more important than the telegram from the headquarters.

After all, the telegram sent by the headquarters may be a telegram for robbery, and Boss Chen's telegram is likely to be a telegram that made Li Yunlong rich.

"This Yan Laoxi is really fucking playing tricks on us."

After reading the telegram sent by Boss Chen, Li Yunlong couldn't help but stare at him.

"Lao Li, what's going on?"

Zhao Gang was suddenly startled, looking at Li Yunlong like this, it seemed that he wanted to move seriously.

"Lao Zhao, see for yourself!"

Li Yunlong handed the telegram to Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang picked up the telegram and read it, and the content of the telegram was the intelligence of Yan Xishan's instructions to install military commanders and Japanese spies in the arsenal technicians.

Even, Boss Chen sent a telegram to the list of general spies and Japanese spies.

There were a total of 12 spies and spies, 6 each of the military commander and the Japanese army.

"This Yan Laoxi!"

Even the good-tempered Zhao Gang couldn't help but be a little angry when he saw this information.

The information sent by Boss Chen, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang did not doubt his authenticity at all.

If there is no information from Boss Chen, these spies and spies will be mixed into the Northwest Shanxi Arsenal, which is very likely to cause immeasurable losses to the arsenal!

After a pause, Zhao Gang sneered: "Yan Laoxi's trick of killing people with a knife is quite clever. ”

Yan Xishan's own spies were uneasy to intervene, even if the East Window incident happened afterwards and the military commander's spies and Japanese spies were caught, it was not his Yan Laoxi's person, and it had nothing to do with Jin Suijun.

Because the military commanders and the Japanese army were even more unwilling than Yan Xishan, the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi Province set up an arsenal.

"If anyone does not offend me, I will not offend, but if anyone offends me, I will offend."

A murderous momentum on Li Yunlong's body did not disperse: "This time, we must teach Yan Laoxi a lesson!" ”

Zhao Gang said: "Lao Li, don't be impulsive, let's think about this matter in the long run, if you don't get it right, Yan Laoxi will deduct your hat of destroying the united front of the National War of Resistance, which is enough for you kid to drink a pot." ”

"Don't worry." Li Yunlong said in his chest, "I have measure!" ”
